If you search using a '%' character in the search input box, you'll get a 400 error from spt:

But searching without that character works just fine:

I imagine this may have something to do with escaping, but I don't have any idea right now.

I looked into this and it seems like it is an issue with rspotify not escaping % signs. I filed an issue over there.
